What is the fastest a Pokemon can get?
Okay so I was looking through Pokémon with the abilitySwift Swimand I saw this:
What?!This thing is incredibly fast already, with Swift Swim..So I decided to do some maths and if my calculations are correct..
Oh my..Does any Pokémon beat this whopping987?

However…it doesn’t actually get to make use of all that speed, even for the limited purpose of transforming. The last few steps of speed computation, in order, are:
So in the case of a Ditto (or anything else) with 16,128, 17,536, or any other number above 10,000, the first of those steps will cut out the excess and make it fall to 10,000, and at the last step it’s still too high and wraps around to 1808, which is all it gets credit for. If you keep watching the battle to the fifth turn, you can verify that since the naive maximum speed really only counts as 1808, it manages to get outsped by a Swoobat that “only” has 2512 speed that turn. (The purpose of that battle was in fact to discover what effect these speed-capping operations had on Gyro Ball: as it turns out, Gyro Ball in this case sees a speed of 10,000, not 1808 or 16,128. Electro Ball behaves similarly.)
There is now a Pokemon faster than Deoxys-speed, Regieleki. So let’s try plugging in all the modifiers from the other answer to Regieleki’s speed. The absolute highest Regieleki’s speed can go without any additional boosts is 548. After adding all the additional boosts we get:
548 * 2 for tailwind * 1.5 for Choice Scarf * 4 for max speed boosts * 2 for skill swapped Sand Rush in sandstorm =13152 speed
In theory, though, Game Freak could introduce a Pokemon even faster than Regieleki in the future. The absolute limit on base stats in the game is 255, so let’s assume that Game Freak has now announced a Pokemon that dwarfs Regieleki’s speed by a whopping 55 base points. The highest you could raise this Pokemon’s speed without any additional boosts would be 669. With all the additional boosts we get:
12096 is the max possible speed.Deoxys-S + 252 Speed EVs + Boosting Nature + Tailwind + Choice Scarf + Full Speed Boosts (+6) + Skill Swapped Sand Rush with Sandstorm in effect = 12096 Max Speed.This outstrips the speed of 1809 yet when I tested this (No tailwind but still over 1809), Deoxys was still affected by TR. ~ MrKijani answering one of my questions
So short answer: NopeLong Answer: Nope.
Hope this helps!
